| The Eastern Nebraska Wheelchair Athletic Association (ENWAA)
is a non-profit organization founded in 1975 and became an
exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code in 1988. ENWAA is the premier wheelchair sports
organization in Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa.
ENWAA provides athletic opportunities for disabled children
and adults. These opportunities include instruction, team
organization, practice facilities, athletic equipment, registration
fees, uniforms, travel expenses, team and individual awards,
and much more.
There are many benefits associated with participation in
wheelchair athletics. These include aerobic and muscle-building
activities, building self-esteem, making life-long friendships,
and travel to play teams from other areas. Also, many of
our members have participated on the United States Paralympic
Team and have had opportunities for international travel.
Several of our members have received college scholarships
through wheelchair athletics.
